In the border area between the United States and Mexico, life is
like a tossed salad. This "salad" is like avocados, salsa, lettuce,
tomatoes, carrots and whatever else the cook thinks might go well -
maybe some squash or some grated cheese. Though people from
everywhere call this home, the three predominant ethnic groups are
anglos, Hispanics, and Native Americans. It is a place of fusion
where people mix everything - food, language, marriage, religion,
politics, and family life. It's a place where you can get an
American hamburger and a Mexican Tecate beer one time and green
chile enchiladas and a Coke the next. Out here you can go to a
festival of La Virgin de Guadalupe one weekend and a wine tasting
with jazz musicians the next, and nobody thinks that's strange.
Most of our ancestors came from Europe, bringing with them the
languages and customs of Ireland, Spain, and England. Some of them
are Spanish Catholics, some with a strain of Judaism hidden
somewhere back there from the expulsions of the Inquisition. And
the descendents of those Tigua Indians here who rebelled against
the Spaniards up in New Mexico keep their ancient culture alive
while going about the business of being Americans.
